Drivers Branded by Mercedes Logo - Video

Mercedes drivers say their AMG seats literally branded them.

Two California drivers have sued Mercedes-Benz, claiming the metal AMG logo built into certain seats became so hot in the sun that it burned their skin. One says he suffered second-degree burns.

And here’s the interesting legal question: a product doesn’t necessarily have to malfunction to have a design defect.

Under California product liability law, one test asks whether a product is as safe as an ordinary consumer would expect during reasonably foreseeable use.

So what do you think: Should Mercedes be responsible for a metal seat logo getting hot enough to cause burns, or is that simply a risk of leaving a car in the California sun?
